Note the lone Black woman off to the side and around the corner of the building. 谁 她是? Why 她是 not identified in the listing? 我们应该问些什么问题呢 her placement in what seems to have been a posed photograph?

Photograph from the Sallie Clark Collection, c. 1900年代早期
In contrast to the previous photo, in which a lone Black woman is segregated from a posed group of whites affiliated with Add-Ran, this image suggests comfortable familiarity between a TCU-affiliated white woman (probably in the Clark family) and Black associates. Written in pencil on the back of the photograph is this statement: "Old Pack says 他不喜欢有一个 标本 made of him but he got in the picture just the same.“老狼群也许是查理·索普， and if so, the other two Black people in the photo could be Kate (Lee) Thorp and one 他们的后代. While the date is not indicated, the image may be from the early 1900s.

Three Pages from a TCU Instructor’s 剪贴簿
Items below were collected/saved by Miss Olive McClintic while she was a TCU speech (elocution) teacher, beginning in 1901. Three items from this scrapbook are presented.
1) Two-page spread with program from an oratorical event on the left and an account 右边是学生活动的;
在75页的第50页. The note listed on the top right corner of this page is 写信给一位“先生”. 庄园.” The scrapbook text seems to refer to a class prank between Juniors and Seniors of that year as described in a 小船 student newspaper article dated March 26, 1904, in an issue now available in TCU数字资源库. The Seniors sent a written message to Juniors with a demand from the purported owner of the land where the 你nger group was picnicking that they pay a fee for use of 这个地方. Noteworthy in both the article and the excerpt in the scrapbook is the 白人学生(强制)?) enlistment of a “negro under the employ of the '04 class” in carrying out the plan of the Seniors against the Juniors. 同样值得注意的是它的用法 of the term “darkie” within this text produced by TCU students of that time.
转录:
“Mr. 庄园: We, a crowd of the students are here on a picnic and knew nothing of 你r charge until we were here, and were unprepared, but we will make it satisfactory with 你. In fact we were broke, but will see 你 soon. 你的黑人 完成 正如你告诉他的.”
2) Oratorical contest on “Prohibition” theme: March 12, 1906
Note the program’s implicit linkage of “saloon” and “Negro problem.”
3) Program for a 1905 Multi-Day 邦联女子联合会 Event
Program for a multi-day event sponsored by the Texas Division of the 邦联女子联合会于1905年12月5日至8日在德克萨斯州韦科举行. See pages from the program, which is saved in complete McClintic剪贴簿里的表格.
The program contains numerous titles and reference activities that underscore a positive memory of the Confederacy’s “lost cause.” See, for example, “Lest We Forget” on page 1 shown above and page 2’s reference to reverential care for Confederate soldiers’ graves and other memorial activities, shown below.
Details in the program also illustrate the persistence of racist stereotyping (e.g,. “My Old Black Mammie,” as seen here on the third interior page.TCU教员 “Miss McClintic” contributes to the program via an individual oratorical/speech performance for the “Literary Evening” event, with her performance coming just after a presentation whose title asserts the need of the UDC (邦联女子联合会) to operate “永久.”
